Well, I was out in the hall the entire day reading with your children and assessing where they are in their reading abilities. This is only one snapshot of your child as a reader but every student is at or above grade level! Your child will be able to better tell you what they did in the classroom. I can tell you what I put in my plans for the sub to complete. Hopefully, they match!
In Meeting, students played, "Just Like Me." Mr. Smith also taught them some Japanese! They sorted their words in Word Study and found that this week's generalization is also short vowel sounds but with multiple syllable words. In Writer's Workshop, they continued with the writing process and focused on paragraphing while drafting. Mr. Smith read, The Name Jar and they talked about the main character but also what the author did to make us know this about the character. Then, in Reader's Workshop, they looked at non-fiction text features, read independently and Wednesday people visited the library. They came in from recess sweaty and gross smelling so they must have had a good time! In Math Workshop, they worked on an Exemplar-a real world problem that takes problem-solving, reasoning, partner work, etc. They also completed some other problems and activities during choice time but with the level of the volume coming through the door, I'm not sure how much work was completed. Finally, in Science, they worked together to create structures for their fairy tale STEM challenges.
This is seriously awesome, "every student is at or above grade level!" It's a real testament to the effort that has been put into learning and teaching. We have some amazing kids, teachers, and parents! How cool.
